I, along with a handful of others in this newsgroup have been lone soldiers of organics. Now it seems organics are more the norm. It's truly so nice to see in my own lifetime. I wish Rachel Carson were still around to see that at least people are making efforts to stop poisoning the earth. This is such good news. Not to put too fine a point on it, but perhaps anyone who used chemical pesticides or fertilizers was made to feel so unwelcome, they just stopped posting. There would be no way to differentiate the two cases at this point. That would be counterproductive. I've been on Usenet for longer than I like to imagine (uh, I think I posted my first article on rec.arts.sf.written in about 198x), so I have a pretty thick skin. But someone who comes to a group for the first time, asking for help, and gets slammed too hard, is going have a reaction along the lines of "What a bunch of supercilious assholes!" Anyway, I'm as guilty as anyone when it comes to losing my temper, but really, someone who comes asking for advice can get it with honey or with fire ants. Which do you think they're more likely to accept? Chris You made your point in the first five lines but you kept babbling anyway. Then why respond? Anyone who monitored this group would have an idea of the range of our opinions presented. You are arguing for the dolt who thinks his/her answer is in a jar and just drops by to find out which bottle and where they can get the best price. You have problems reading for comprehension, I see. Try going back to my post again. If posters don't even bother to learn about who they are asking questions of, why would anyone worry if their self esteem gets a reality check? In this particular case, the poster had already tried several toxic substances and was looking for another. How dense does the poster have have to be to ignore an up-welling of revulsion against their actions? A person came to ask for advice. You tell that person she's stupid and incapable of learning. Sorry, that's inappropriate in my book. Sorry that we aren't organized to your to your level of expectations but we aren't a monolithic group. We give what we can and people take what they can. It might be nice to be a conspiracy, then we could get t-shirts and coffee mugs but, we aren't. Some of us are "save the planet assholes". We can be rude, and lewd, and crude and, we will rail against lazy s.o.b.s who can't even Google before they start splashing biocides on our planet. Um, this is pretty amusing, but your odd fantasies here have nothing whatsoever to do with what I wrote. Maybe remember to take the pink pill with food tomorrow morning. You obviously belong to another demographic. Sanctimonious or supercilious asshole sounds more like a description of yourself. I'm cut- cut to the quick. Whatever happened to your high ideals? Your sensitivity? You come with a 'tude, a bad mouth, a straw-man, ad hominem attacks, misrepresentations, and worst of all, no citations, no verifiable information, not even personal experience. It seems all you have is play-yard sarcasms. Feel free to vent your stupidity. You are of no concern to me. no useful knowledge. -- Billy Bush and Pelosi Behind Barshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KVTfcAyYGg&ref=patrick.nethttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0aEo59c7zU&feature=related Goodness. Guess there was an exposed nerve ending there. Your attitude is so like what I've seen so many times. You go off the deep end- with those ridiculous statements about conspiracies or some such- accuse me of babble in your first sentence, completely ignore what I read for what instead got through some filter in your own mind, and then play the injured party. Sorry, it doesn't wash. But you have a nice day. Chris |
